    Jimmy Matts Anyone on the forum heard of him

    Jimmy's last name was spelled Matz. He had something a lot of players lack. Charisma. He could have you feeling like you were friends forever in a couple of minutes. He was a monster player before his accident, in 1980, and afterward, though he developed many inner demons later in his life. I...

    Pamela Cimarelli!

    The poolroom we were at was owned by Pam's family. Josh may have been just 18 at the time. He had action with Tyler Strawn the night before and Tyler won, although Josh had beaten Tyler previously. Perhaps Pam was 16 or 17. I had asked her why she was not playing in the Junior National event and...

    Pamela Cimarelli!

    In 2003, I took two 17 year olds out to Ann Arbor to compete in the Junior Nationals. The event was held in the Michigan Union, on campus at the University of Michigan. Both kids were capable shooters. Looking for a place to pratice one night, we were steered to a little poolroom in some little...

    Points are probably too long and colors may not be right, but looks a bit like an old Titliest Conversion.

    Some Pros Said They Would like Harder Tables

    I am against the use of 10 foot tables for anything other than a novelty. Tennis courts and bowling lanes are all produced at the same dimensions. The same could be true for all pool tables. No matter where one would go, the tables would be the same dimensions with the same pocket size. We...

    8 Ball Online Guide

    My advice is to take the cotton out of your ears and put it in your mouth. You must care enough about the game that you joined the AZ forum and invested so much time to put together such a lovely manual. If you really do, then allow the suggestions to sink in a little and do yourself and the...

    My First 14.1 League match

    This guy must be so jealous of you it is incredible. He can't control himself. It must eat him up inside so much that you are a very good player and a humanitarian, at the same time. A rare combination for any pool player these days. Best bet is to just put him a sleeper hold before he even...

    FS TS Cue

    This is a no nonsense looking cue that has that true Scruggs playability. It is dieing to be played with as it belonged to a recreational shooter who did not use the cue very often.

    Scorekeeping for 14.1

    The old Yankee Athletic Association, in York, PA, was "The" place to play when I was learning to play, in the 70’s. The clubhouse had opened in 1949 and the area specified for the pool tables was designed by Brunswick. That area was an open alcove with four nine foot Brunswick Centennials...

    Scorekeeping for 14.1

    My take on scorekeeping for 14.1. Growing up playing on Brunswick equipment, the Gold Crowns always sported two counters on both sides of the foot rail. I would like to think Brunswick had the Straight Pool shooters in mind when they had that feature. One counter could be used for the rack...

    Dress Code for Gold Crown Billiards, Erie, PA

    Very recently, a friend spent an evening at Gold Crown, while taking a break from visiting family in Erie. The feedback he provided me with was that the place deserved a five star review. It was clean, comfortable, well kept and the staff was friendly. Good marks for any business, let alone a...
